Alternative Energy/Solar Power for Home Use [Merged]

**crazy_boy** · June 18th, 2014 04:10 PM

would like to know if there is anyone here in tsikot knowledgeable with alternative energy like solar or wind energy? ang taas kasi ng electricity namin sa bahay. currently we're consuming 1400kWh. Down from 2000 1 year ago

we have already changed a lot of our lights to LED na.

thinking of installing grid tie solar system. baka meron pwede mag turo.

Do you use those tonner acs at home? Maybe you should get rid of that, there's a fixed rate on top of the consumption pa diba? Then change all refs and acs to inverter

How long will it take to recover the cost of installing these solar panels naman.

Dati kasi may office yan dito sa may amin, nalipat lang hindi ko na alam kung saan. So probably sa MM meron din niyan. Para kasing social responsibility program nila yan kaya mura dyan afaik.

You need to know how much you are consuming during daytime. Jan papasok ang grid tie system. Micro Gti are pretty much plug and play, unlike ng malalaki na grid tie inverters na high voltage ang gamit.

Either mag enphase gti ka which is a us brand or china gti na lesser efficiency pero ok na din kung maliit lang system mo.

Just dont go past your daytime consumption kundi mag export ka at i dagdag din sa bill mo yon. Nagbigay ka na ng kuryente, ikaw pa ang nasingil.

Grid tie system are legal, you just need to apply for net metering kung gusto mo palitan ng meter na umaatras ang current meter mo.

Nagkalat sa Raon ang China made solar panels, charge controller, inverter, VRLA battery. Madali lang naman i DIY. I have that in the farm for night lightning, and battery lang ang maintenance..

If you run water heater, meron solar heaters parang radiator in the roof.. Malakas kumain ng kuryente heaters talo pa aicon lalo na kung babad o hindi makaligo ng walang hot water.

Try to ask around BP Solar and Shell House, parang may program sila sa rural electrification wind+solar yata yun under greenpeace, baka maka discount ka kung under NGO. Mas OK quality nung mga euro made.

kailangan talaga mag apply for net metering. pag nag export magbabayad parin ba ako ng kuryente? parang ang labo naman nun. i thought aatras yung meter?

during daytime, halos ref and washing machine lang gumagana. sa gabi lang talaga malakas consumption. i would say around 85% ng electricity namin sa gabi ginagamit.

Malaki, laki rin natipid namin nung magswitch kami sa inverter aircon.
